There is one body, but it has many parts. But all its many parts make up one body. ... If the whole body were an ear, how could it smell? God has placed each part in the body just as he wanted it to be. If all the parts were the same, how could there be a body? 20 As it is, there are many parts. But there is only one body.
... 27 You are the body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of it.
~ 1 Cor. 12:12...27
The pastor/pulpit is like the stomach it has to digest everything and then send it out to the rest of the body. Hat-tip: D.A. Carson
The deacons are like the hands of the church.
The Audio/Visual are like the CNS or the central nervous system of the church.
~ They need to see at a distance, hear at a distance and feel at a distance. They are not simply about what the eyes and ears immediately see or hear, but they also have to be about what the shut-ins sees and hears and about what the person in Argentina receives.
The Set-Up team & Take-down team are the muscles of the church.
The person with the gift of administration is like the skeletal system of the church. What they do holds the church together and moves it forward.
Without the gift of administration, the church will implode and explode. (E.g. The muscle ministry aka SetUp/Takedown would become a pulpy mass.
